Yeah that is most likely the case.


BTW; just as additional info to interested readers

SCHRS Viper Double 1.035
SCHRS Formula 16 1.008 (rating used by the Falcon F16)
SCHRS Spitfire standard 1.044
SCHRS Spitfire Sport 1.038

The rating difference between the Viper F16 and say the Falcon F16 is 2.68 points or 96 second per full hour of bouy racing.

The new Spitfire Sport has a slightly larger mainsail (from 15,41 to 15.58 sq.mtr) and a larger spinnaker (From 17.60 to 19.20 sq. mtr.). By rating this difference (between the two Spitfire versions) results in only 0.58 points or 21 seconds per full hour of racing. The rating difference between the Viper F16 and Spitfire (both versions) are respectively 0.87 points = 31 sec/hour and 0.29 points = 10 sec/hour

The differences are rather small.
